I am back in NC now. What is Severna Park--3 miles from Arnold? I used to ride my bike across the Severn River and cut through the Naval Academy to get to work. At one point I lives on the South River near Mike's Crab House or Shack.

Personally, I have trouble rating my own team's players, but I give Burns a B+. Not elite like Bosa or even Crosby--but good at what he does. I think he should get good money, but do not break the bank for him to such a degree it cripples the team moving forward. We had a similar situation with Moton, and he is slated to cost us $30m in 2024 and 2025. Worth it? To me, in today's NFL, how you manage the cap is how you win. I think we are far from the days when Hurney was handing out huge contracts to RBs and re-signing personnel from a 4-12 team (like Charles Godfrey and a ridiculous deal--at the time--for Charles Johnson)--that is how this mess starts. If we tag him, we keep him for 2 years or so--that needs to be our play if he refuses good (just not elite) money. Make it so that he loses money by playing out his deal if he refuses, but don't make it so he and Tepper have the same financial planner.

I used to live in Arnold and Crofton--worked for the Capital Newspaper in Annapolis--where are you?

Agree-Ron ran Cam Newton into the ground to save his job. He was not a good coach. We now have a good coach-- Ron would have been here 3 years tops had we not drafted Cam.

He cheats better--spy cams and deflate gate. Cutting edge

Very reliable source

They are basically raw--either unfamiliar with the scheme, each other, or the NFL. Offense: could have 3 rookies starting (Zavala, Young, Mingo) along with Chark, Theilen, Sanders, and Hurst (4)--meaning that as many as seven *(7) starting offense is new from 2022. Defense: Tuttle, Brown, Bell, Houston, and Woods (5) are starting newcomers In other words, over HALF of the STARTERS from 2022 are new to the Panthers, as is the coaching staff. We really do not know what we have.

I send this to my wife every year--it is valid for the entire season and it works!:

they will add a DL if they make an immediate move. IMO

IF Zavala earns a starting spot, then the draft was a tremendous success, with three starters being added to the offense. Defensively, we were not helped by this draft for the immediate future, but we did bring in a lot of free agent upgrades

I have to think that YGM is going to play DE (not OLB) in certain passing situations. We have 5 TEs and 3 DEs. That is just wrong.

https://sports.yahoo.com/panthers-signing-former-giants-rb-220512849.html Had a 33 yard run in preseason

Keeping 5 TEs reminds me of the time Hurney kept 2 kickers.

Man, many of your piss ants derailed the hell out of this thread.

But if a UNC fan was being objective about a UNC player in his or her honest estimation, you would call it bias. That puts the bias on you, not the UNC fan.

Throckmorton gives us G/T flexibility depth with NFL starting experience. Jamison will make an impact. Never heard of the LB

He is a pretty big back--220--but I get your point.

Was Taylor picked up? If not, is he not on the PS?

I am excited about Jamison. I think he can help us.

38.4 PFF Rating, fwiw.

D Shawn Jamison

I am going to say it--why are we still trying to develop Deonte Brown? I watched him when he was in this preseason--pretty awful--isn't this year 3 for him?

yes, and I think it could be his best position. (Mays) In my limited viewing, Zavala looked very strong, especially considering he was playing the right side. Jensen is going to be a keeper--pretty solid depth. If the veteran depth we had was Erving, McCray, Tecklenburg, and Jordan, give me the young, hungry, developmental guys.
